Not in UK and Just Ordering Spare Parts? Any
order for Tamiya, Carson or Ansmann spare parts only (excluding body
shells), worldwide flat rate of £3.95 – Choose “Worldwide Spare Parts” at
checkout. If your order includes body shells, you need to choose the
regular Europe or Rest Of World option.

UK Priority Express: For most parts of the
UK, we also offer a priority service which will queue jump your order to
the front of the queue and only be delivered by Next Day Courier or
Special Delivery (no 1st Class or standard mail service will be used in
these cases). Where this service is not available for your
area, we will refund the difference and downgrade the order to our
standard Express service.

Refunded Adjustment - Outside of the UK: Where
the postage is clearly incorrect – e.g. you order several very light
weight items which on value put you into the large parcel rate of £19+ -
we will make an adjustment and refund the excessive postage back to your
account.

UK Highlands / Islands: We do
not surcharge for delivery to these areas, unlike many of our
competitors. However, delivery is usually 2 to 3 days slower than for the rest of the UK. Some brush paint and all Spray Paint cannot be sent by Royal Mail, so cannot be delivered to some addresses. Please see paint below.

Deliveries of Paint: Due to new controls and regulations, all paint can only be dispatched to UK addresses, no paint can be sent outside of the UK borders.

All Aerosol Paint and some Brush Paint must go by courier - and cannot be sent to some outlying areas - please read our Paint Info page for more details before ordering.

Pre-Orders for Diecast Models: If you
choose our Pre-Order (or Phone Me) payment option – where you are not
billed until the models are released, we will charge £1.75 per dispatch
for UK destinations (i.e. all the models that are released in one week
count as one dispatch). For Europe and the Rest Of World, we will charge
at cost price (including taxes and packing materials). Where you choose
to pay in advance for Pre-Orders, postage will be as shown at checkout –
this may save you money in some cases, but will mean that you may pay some
months prior to release.

VAT /
Sales Tax:
The rates for Rest Of World are substantially reduced from the actual
shipping cost as this is subsidized by the European Sales Tax (VAT) which
you do not need to pay. The total shown at checkout is the actual amount
payable – no tax will be refunded as this is used to balance the shipping
cost.

Large
Items:
It is unfortunately not possible to ship all larger items worldwide. We
do not ship the following outside of Europe: Radio Control Cars / Similar and RC Kits, Train
Sets, Slot Racing (Scalextric / Similar) Sets. We are also unable to ship
outside of Europe any item which when packed has a total size (length +
width + depth) in excess of 89cm except where the postage rate comes up as
£49 at checkout – this is due to postal regulations and excessively high
fees for international parcel services.

Model
Kits: Some
model kits (Airfix, Revell etc) are very large for their value. It is
sometimes necessary for additional shipping to be paid on these items – if
this is the case you will be contacted and the option of cancelling the
order and receiving a full refund will always be one of the options open
to you.

Body
Shells for Radio Control Cars: When
packed some exceed the maximum postal size of 89cm (length + width + depth
of package). In these cases, we have no option but to refund your order,
since shipping will usually then be more than the price of the body shell.

Special
Cases:
We make a special case for large Diecast models - Large
Corgi Aircraft, Truck/Haulage rigs, some Sunstar 1/24 model buses – these
will be assessed and postage advised after checkout – with the option to
go ahead with additional charges or receive a full refund should the
calculated shipping fee be insufficient.
